D                    A         D
There's a place, so I've been told
 G                 A          D
Every street is paved with gold
         Bm        G            A
And it's just across the borderline
 D                      A        D
And when it's time to take your turn
 G                     A         D
There's a lesson that you must learn
          D                     A            D
You may lose more than you'll ever hope to find

[Chorus]
               G           A              D
And when you reach that broken promised land
                G           A          D
And all your dreams slip though your hand
            Bm                     G           A
You have learned it's too late to change your mind
          G           A             D
Cause you pay the price to come so far
    G       A              D
Just to wind up where you are
        D                 A             D
And you're still just across the borderline

[Verse]
D                A      D
Up and down The Rio Grande
G                      A       D
A thousand foot prints in the sand
           Bm                A
Reveal a secret no one can define
 D                   A       D
The river rolls on like a breath
 G                A        D
In between our life and death
        D                 A              D
Tell me who is next to cross that borderline

[Chorus]
              G             A            D
And when you reach that broken promised land
              G              A        D
And all your dreams slip though your hand
         Bm                    G          A
You'll know it's too late to change your mind
           G          A             D
Cause you pay the price to come so far
         G         A       D
Just to wind up where you are
            D           A           D
And you're still just across the borderline
